Christmas warmth

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was straightening my hair for a Christmas Eve party. I put the hot straightener down on my bed for a second, and zoned out enough to sit squarely on it a few moments later. I now have burns on my ass cheek, and a six-hour party at which I can't even sit down. FML

Seriously? Leaving strainers or any heat appliances on bedding is an invitation for a fire to start! Come on now! Maybe it's better it burned your ass than burned your house down.

This is why we don't have christmas parties sharties in India.

Third degree burns, really? If you had third degree damage, your skin would be black and nerve endings destroyed (and thus, no pain). YDI, drama queen.

and that's why nobody immigrates to India

If you're trying to pull off Raj from Big Bang Theory, you fail.

Because of hair "straighters"? I thought it was the whole difference of religion thing.

#10 is right. It's not third degree burns. You apparently don't know the differences between the varying degrees. Get over it.

A hair straightener does not get hot enough for a third degree burn. And who sets a hot piece of metal on a flammable bed? YDI for being blonde about it.

yeah...this is why you go to a HOSPITAL instead of a 6 hour party with 3rd degree burns. dumbass. oh and that 70's show win^^^

very close family friends did this exact same thing and their entire house burnt down and a 5 month old baby was killed. i think you r rather lucky compared to our friends.

Why does the date say the 25th if it's a Christmas Eve party?

Because they are all sad and pathetic trolls that have to harrass young girls to feel better about themselves.

it should really be aloe Vera for that burn since water doesn't really help....

I was gonna say. OP is lucky her ass is the only thing that got burned. She deserves it for being so careless.

How do you know for sure they're 3rd degree burns? Have you gone to the hospital and asked them? I think not, because if you had, not being able to go to the party would be the least of your worries.

she never claimed they were third degree...

If you had actually gotten 3rd degree burns, you would not have been in any shape to go to a party. Instead, you would have been seeking out medical attention.

Know what burns MY ass? A flame about three feet tall.
